link file to new name/location
if error
    handle error
else
    unlink old filename/location

I never use win32, but I imagine something like this would work (pseudo-code below):

copy file from old name to new name
if error
    handle error
else
    delete old file

Weird. Unlink() is implemented.

From the perldoc pages, I quote

  If possible, move() will simply rename the file.
  Otherwise, it copies the file to the new location and
  deletes the original.  If an error occurs during this
  copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a
  (possibly partial) copy of the file under the
  destination name.
